He Has Something Pleasant to
Say of the Boys in Wisconsin.
/ have for long time read with much
interest the Commercial Travellers col
umn, and have often been surprised
that the boys who hustle among the saw
logs of Wisconsin are seldom if ever
mentioned, and to do them credit they
are the ones that dip deep into territory
that belongs to other cities, and conSe-
quently are every one of them huStlerS
from the word go. In fact | think st.
Paul sends out the best array of talent
over here to be found anywhere. First
and foremost among them is Happy
Harry" who is always happy and never
gets left when he goes out for all order.
He represents Powers Dry Goods COM
pany. Then we have A. G. Thomson,
the bald-headed- seven up player, who
plays seven up with his customers TO
see whether they buy bill of goods or
not, but they always have to buy. He
represents Foot, SchulZe & Co. The lone
fisherman of the North Wisconsin is j.
Postelwait, who ably represents Schuppe
q Son, of Saltwater.
John Murphy is the feather weight,
but gets great many heavy orders for
the P. II. Kelly Mercantile company.
w. w. lambda who ably holds down his
end III the interest of Lindeke, Warner
d Schumacher. j. HI. Gervias is the
erratic Frenchman with Gordon & Fer
gusOn. Recently he met a man that
stole goat and wanted to sell it to him.
The party offered him the goat for SIS,
then $50, saying he could take it to st.
Paul and double his money, but GeryaiS
would not buy. But then he offered the
I'm / oil
stand that Geryais speaks 'Chippewa."
However, he is selling lots of goods for
Gordon Il Ferguson. We are called
upon to mourn the loss of John Lesh,
who for the past eight years ably held
down this territory for j. B. TarbOX.
Mr.. Lesh, | am happy to hear, is about
to embark in business for himself in the
tiourishing city of Tower. May success
attic nd him, is the wish of all the boys.
We will all miss his drOll stories of the
early days when he used to fight In
dianS in Minnesota. The Irish are very
ably represented in the person of James
Feely, with BlabOm, Warren d Chipley.
Also j. F. Kelly, who can tell you more
about spices in minute than any other
man living. He is with G. Il. Croft.
f. j. Homes is the latest addition. He is
a very nice young man and will get
there in time. He is with {. Gotham Il
Co. The above are few of the many
who travel over here. All the boys re-
port trade good.

He Has Pleasant Word to Say of
the Rows Along the Line,

M. w. Cashier had evidently not got
ten over his day at Carlisle, as last Snn-
day he spent two hours at the West
house, st. Cloud, after all others had
dined. Ask him about it.
The West house, at st. Cloud, is, by
the way, becoming the Sunday home of
the boys who appreciate good house
and genial host. The hosts wink is
not to be misunderstood.
Frank Parker. the sock man, it is un-
derstood, will discontinue his frequent
visits to st. Cloud i'll the future. Poor

P.W. Tracy was making the Northern
Pacific this week, accompanied by his
private secretary, W. c. Leitsch, of
Chicago. For boys. ''they get there"
The remarks made in the Tribune a
few weeks ago in regard to the Mer-
chants hotel, at Wadena, was rather un-
just, as it is one of the best houses on
the Northern Pacific.

tive of the Schlitz Brewing company, is

The Woonsocket Liquor Cases.

Special to the Globe.
WOoNSOCKET. Nov. 1.-THE saloon
keepers are having a hard row to hoe in
this county. Charley Chute has been
running under cover of the wholesale
liquor law since spring, at this place;
but five indictments were found against
him at the recent term of Judge Trips
court. and he is now confined in the
county jail, and he proposes to remain
a prisoner at the expense of the county.
He was arrested yesterday, but is out
to-day walking the streets accompanied
by one of the sheriffs men, and, while
nominally a prisoner. is in reality gen.
tleman of elegan leisure, accompanied
by a servant. Brogheimer, the Artesian
city salOon-keeper, is to be arrested
to-day and brought over to keep COM
pany with Chute. Both were given
plenty of time to leave the country after
the indictments were found, but they
persisted in remaining, and prohibition
leaders naturally urged that they be
arrested.

OPENING THE RESERVATION.
Chairman Peel Somewhat Luke
warm-A Suggestion That Nc
CIure and McManima Be Sent to
Washington.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE nom
committal manner of Congressman
Peel. whenever the Dawes bill is men
toned, does not argue well for the pros
poets of the measure. Those who are
interested in having highway opened
to civilization, from the Missouri river
to the Hill country. must be warned i'll
time, and be ready to look after the
measure, right on the ground. As
suggested by the GLOBE many moons
ago. to secure the passage of the bill it
will be necessary to have an agent on
the ground here to push it; and he
should be well equipped in every man
neF so that he may be able to ''eXplaln"
matters to such congressman as are so
ObtuSe as to require the POO-Bah act:
in other words. who want to be ''in-
suited before they will understand the
merits of the measure. Commissioner
Mcclure is the best posted man in the
territory concerning the bill and the
methods of working before congress.
Besides, he is personally interested in
no small degree in the passage of the bill.
Ii means business life and prosper
ity to him as well as to all merchants
along the river. Hence, he will be more
likely TO work with untiring energy,
probably, than any other man in the
territory; unless it might be the diplO-
matte, intelligent, and always reliable
Editor McManima, of Pierre. He is
mentioned as secondary, only because
it will be almost impossible for him to
leave his paper and spend the winter
here. McClure'S business can be at
tended to by others during the winter;
because there is practically no business
to attend to while the frost is in the
ground. If McManima could be able to
arrange affairs so that he might be here
with Mcclure it would be better for the
measure. They are compliments of
each other. Both are earnest, sincere
men, and they seem to be equally
familiar with the work, and enthusias-
tic in their endeavOrs. The gentlemen
who have served in congresses preced-
ing the present are all acquainted with
McManima and Mcclure, and have been
cOnversed with upon the subject. To
send new men here would be merely to
retard the work in hand. Mcclure
must come. and McManima ought to
come. too.

WoONsoCKE Nov. 1.-THE last
soldiers and sailors reunion, which
was held here last of August, left our
town badly in debt. The executive
committee. of which Hon. L. ID. Kanouse,
the famous Republican congressman
from South Dakota. is leading men,
Der, have been paying off the debt at the
rate of 80 cents on the dollar, but this
has caused grand kick on the part of
some of the creditors, some being let
down to the tune of 800 each. Twenty
five business men petitiOned KanouSe
and the rest of the committee to make a
report showing what became of the
cash, and lively time is in prospect.
Democrats are having a quiet laugh.

Minneapolis. Porter was born in Sears

tinue in their service indefinitely. Mr..
Porter is man of exemplary habits,
and is looked upon as one of the bright

drinks, smokes nor chews, but he seems
to enjoy life as much as as any of the

is something of crank on the question
of physical development, and is prom

LET THE WOMEN WRITE.
Communications Wanted From
the Wives and Sweethearts of
Travelling Men.

The GLORE this morning presents to
the commercial travellers department
that they should be proud of. The boys
this week have responded with credit
able promptness, and what they have
written is interesting. There are sew
eral new contributors, among whom are
Joking, Why Not, EittOl, An-X-One,
and they all have something to say
that the boys will enjoy. Heretofore
the boys have been doing all the writ
ing. Why don't their wives and best
girls send in contribution occasion
ally? Surely they could tell many in
teresting things about their husbands
and sweethearts that would make very
interesting reading. Let them try it
once, for luck.

IRON GRAVE VAULTS.
The Devices ReSorted to for the Frustru
ton OF Grave RObbIng.

Tho Devices Resorted to for the Frustra-
ton OF Grave RObbing.
A Chicago man, says tho TSi6vae Of that
citv, went out TO Rockford the other day
TO attend the funeral Of a relative. As the
comm was being consigned to the earth he
noticed that the interior of the grave was
lined with ferns. This being something
entirely new to him, he afterward asked
why the ferns were there. and was told
that they concealed . metallic case into
which the CONN was lowered. when the
mourners left the cemetery blaeksmiths
came and rivited an iron Id upon the case,
thereby making IL impossible for body
Snatchers to gain access TO the comm.
Such devices for preserving the ssnetaty
Of the dead have been found necessary on
account Of tho numerous grave-r9bberies
that have been committed at H6Skford
within the last few years. In fact, hardly
funeral occurs there now but h at
some such precaution as that 10 taken.
Burglar-proof grave vaults arc also
used in Chicago, although but q sim

known here in many years Two different
kinds OF vaults were seen at Q largo I'M

street One is a case made OF hoavy boil

lowered into the grave It weighs about
four hundred pounds, is thoroughly wa
ter-proof and can not be opened Not
moro than q dozen Of these vaults have
ever been sold hero. They cost about
sixty FIVE dollars. The other device con-
sists OF a large sheet Of boi.er-iron,
through which are driven about ono hum

trated on digging down to the spikes, foz
there would still DO a large amount OF

litical views and measures of public

ADAM AND EVE


4 FanelfaI Sketch Describing the Life
They Might Have Led.
In appearance Eve was exceedingly
gracious and beautiful full of reticence
and dignity, writes Michael Field in the
Contemporary RevieV: people always spoke
of her as q la ly, and whispered 70 one an
other that she had coma OF good stock.
To her husband she was full Of q wistful
courtesy; il seemed as IL he had made
some sacrifice in marrying her, and her
devotion was mingled with gratitude. In
Adam there was less that was peculiar
than in his wife. He would stand often
on his threshold in the evening and look
out he had forgotten that centuries had
passed. by, and was still yearniug for the
return Of his first born-tha waaderer. It
was Eve who in the spring-tide turned
TO the meadow where tho lambs
were playing. and she always
went alone When she came back
she world put her arms round bar hus-
bands neck and kiss him. He did not un-
derstand that she was como from q
grave; but he was grateful for the kiss,
and drew her away to look at the young
sproutinR blades Of corn. He had become
a husbandman, and was skilled in the tin
ing Of the ground. Eve nevor looked hap
pier than when he came home hot and
hungry from working in the fields. 6ho
loved to set his meal, lay her head on his
knee, and listen to his talk OF the wonder
full new WAYS OF raising crops and plant
ing vineyards. He was busy and con-
tented, and there was no regret In his
face. But their conversation did not al
ways turn on commonplace matters. On
winter evenings they often discussed
ancient history, and showed familiar 90
quaintance with tho stories we now read
In the early chapters Of Genesis.
Sometimes they would quarrel
and grow sullen, or violently dis
agree Then Adams voice would be heard
In reproach, or Ewes in contention, and
Adam would walk out and lean against
the old swinging gate that seemed to be
the natural boundary Of his little domain.
When Evo saw him leaning against the
gate, and apparently forgetful Of hcr, she
would steal up to him softly and they
would walk home together, . new light in
their eyes. All age had passed from their
faces, and there was majesty in their
least caressinR touch, for they hsd.no sus-
picion Of intrudera, and thought only Of
each other. After those hours OF recon-
ciliation they would speak Of quito anoth-
or tinnc in their lives, whom evidently
there had been deep accord between them;
then, and then only, was Eve heard to
laugh-a silvery, ringing laugh, full Of
unimaginable mirth, and Adam, drunk
with tho witchery, would grow eloQuen,
and tender

Oil City Blizzard: -Four blind men,
graduates of the Pennsylvania institute
for the instruction of the blind, played
q game Of draw poker Monday night in
room at the "Moon and Stars" a
quaint old inn on the Germantown
road, and it is stated that SIS5 was won
by one of the players, who cleaned out
the other three. The men played with
cards devised and manufactured by
John Stevens, who was one of the los
ers in the game. They were about
three times as thick as the ordinary
cards. The body of the card bore no
marks whatever, but in the upper left
hand corner OF each were the sunken
marks which signified the cards value.
The suits were designated by the letters
d. III. c. and s. and the cards by let
ters or numbers beneath them the ace
Of spades, for instance, being marked
s. with the figure 1 beneath, and the
queen Of hearts III with the letter q
beneath All four of the players have
been using the cards for some time and
have become quite proficient in hand
ling and reading them. The winner Of
the game was Philip Wormster, a mu-
stefan, who plays the organ in one Of
the Philadelphia churches. The win
ming hand four queens. Stevens held an
ace high flush, and the other two players
held a lack full' and a ''seven full"
respectively. A curious feature of the
game was that the players played with
the usual red, blue and white colored
chips, and distinguished the colors en-
tirely by the sense of touch.

At about I O'Clock last Wednesda,

At about O'Clock last Wednesday
morning George Anterior, baggage
agent for the Southern Kansas railroad
company at Harper, committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head five
times with thirty-eight caliber Smith
& Wesson double action revolver, the
last ball entering his brain which caus-
ed his death. He had risen early and
had billed out a car of stock to go out
on the merning freight, and the per-
sons present saw nothing unusual in
his actions. He told the other employ.
es of the Office to go to their breakfast
and during their absence shot himself
No reason has been given for the rash
act. He was about SO year old.
